79: Dawn Base Films

“A few days ago, Doudou told me that President Pan wanted to open a film and television company. I wonder why President Pan had this idea.” Sister Na was quite interested in Pan Han’s motivation.

“Oh, it’s like this, Sister Na. This friend of mine, Yan Xiaoli, is a very dedicated actress. I personally also really enjoy watching movies, so we hit it off and decided to establish a film and television company.”

“I understand. This is easy to handle; I’ll arrange someone here to take care of it for you. However, this industry isn’t easy to operate in right now; it’s not very profitable.” Sister Na knew how deep the waters were in the entertainment industry.

“Thank you for the reminder, Sister Na. I didn’t expect to make money. I’m just investing purely out of passion. I hope to contribute a small effort to the development of our Dragon Kingdom’s film and television industry.” Pan Han indeed didn’t expect to make money.

“Haha, good! As expected, the younger generation is formidable, ready to jump in with pure passion. Come, let’s toast to President Pan.”

Everyone raised their glasses, marking the start of the first round.

It was only then that Yan Xiaoli’s nervousness finally eased. She realized that Sister Na was so straightforward and uninhibited.

“Come, everyone, eat. I haven’t been to this restaurant in a long time. The menu has been updated again.” Wang Doudou urged everyone to eat some dishes.

Pan Han looked at the dishes that had just been served, not recognizing a single one. Some dishes were shrouded in mist, while others had unique presentations. He casually picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste.

Ah!!!!!!!!

It’s so delicious!

It was heavenly!

This restaurant was already excellent, and coupled with Pan Han’s recent diet of fast food in the apocalypse, tasting such a delicacy today left him quite shocked.

Damn it, I’ve lived for more than twenty years for nothing; there’s actually such delicious food in the world!

He was somewhat overwhelmed by the delicious food and couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

“Oh, President Pan has a great appetite! It’s wonderful to watch you eat.” Sister Na couldn’t help but praise him.

“Haha, Sister Na, he’s the big eater who was on the trending searches a few days ago.” Wang Doudou explained.

“Oh? President Pan is that big eater?”

“Yes, it’s me. But I’m not really a big eater; it’s just that I’ve been working out recently, and my physical exertion is relatively high.”

“Sister Na, the changes in my body recently are all thanks to President Pan; he taught me a conditioning method. It’s very effective.”

Sister Na and Yan Xiaoli were both quite surprised to hear this. Was there really such a conditioning method?

“Hey, it’s just a secret family conditioning recipe, nothing fancy. It just happened to be suitable for Doudou’s body, which is why it worked so well.”

“Haha, President Pan, don’t be nervous, I won’t ask you for the conditioning method.” Sister Na smiled mysteriously.

Did she misunderstand? Pan Han felt that Sister Na’s smile had another meaning.

“Doudou, quickly toast President Pan. Thank him for conditioning your body.” Sister Na patted Wang Doudou’s hand.

Yan Xiaoli became even more confused upon hearing this. Could it be that Pan Han and this Wang Doudou were involved?

Wang Doudou raised her glass, and everyone had another round.

“President Pan, I wonder what you plan to name this film and television company?” Sister Na put down her glass and turned to ask Pan Han.

This question stumped Pan Han; he really hadn’t thought about what to call it.

“Hmm, let me think about it.”

“Hahaha, President Pan is indeed a man of passion. It’s okay, take your time thinking. Let Xiaoli help you brainstorm too.”

“Mm-hmm. Thank you for the reminder, Sister Na.” Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli both nodded.

“Let’s talk about other details first; you can think about the name slowly. President Pan, which area of film and television do you plan to focus on?”

“This, there’s nothing specific. Anyway, it must be positive, focus on acting, and promote our Dragon Kingdom spirit. As for choosing scripts and actors, I’ll leave all of that to Xiaoli to handle.” Pan Han honestly stated his thoughts.

“Oh, then Xiaoli will be exhausted in the future! Come, Xiaoli, let’s toast to your hands-off boss.”

So everyone raised their glasses again, marking the third round of drinks.

“Sister Na, I’ve only just entered the industry not long ago. If I have any questions in the future, can I ask for your guidance?” After three drinks, Yan Xiaoli finally dared to speak freely.

“Of course, you can. Come, this is my WeChat; scan it and add me as a friend first.”

“Alright!”

Pan Han, meanwhile, ate and thought about what to name the company.

He definitely couldn’t use his own name or Yan Xiaoli’s name; they didn’t sound like company names.

So what else could he use?

Oh, right! How about using the name of Dawn Base?

Dawn Base Culture Media Co., Ltd.!

In the future, any other companies he opened would also start with Dawn Base.

Dawn Base Food Co., Ltd., Dawn Base Energy Company, Dawn Base Game Company, and so on. He would then build a massive business empire.

“Sister Na, I’ve thought of it. This film and television company will be called — Dawn Base Culture Media Co., Ltd.” Pan Han wiped his mouth and said to everyone.

“Oh, that’s a very unique name!” Wang Doudou asked, tilting her head.

“Hmm, it has a sense of solemnity. Haha.” Sister Na echoed.

“This wouldn’t happen to be the name of your team in a game, would it?” Yan Xiaoli asked.

“No, no, when I was very young, I wrote a novel, and there was a base in it called that. I just remembered it, and I thought it would be good to use.”

“See, I told you that making movies is about fulfilling dreams.” Sister Na understood as soon as she heard it.

Who doesn’t have dreams? Whether it’s novels or movies, it’s nothing more than recreating everyone’s dream.

“Good! Then that’s decided! Come, let’s toast to Dawn Base!” Sister Na grandly raised her glass, and everyone had another round.

Thus, the four of them ate and chatted, chatted and drank, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

As expected, Yan Xiaoli and Wang Doudou officially became sworn sisters on the spot. Wang Doudou even clamored that she wanted to play a female lead in the future.

…

“I’m so happy today. Come, President Pan, let’s have a drink just the two of us. Let Doudou and her chat.” Sister Na’s face was a bit red; she had indeed drunk quite a bit.

“Come, Sister Na. I should toast you. I’ll down this, and you can drink as you please.” Pan Han downed a glass of strong white liquor in one gulp.

“Good lad, you can eat and drink; your future is limitless. However, Sister Na, as someone who’s been through it all, and also as a former soldier, I’ll give you a few pointers.”

“Sister Na, please enlighten me.” Pan Han saw that the drinks had hit the spot and she was about to impart some wisdom.

“Film well, don’t disgrace our country, and don’t speak ill of our country.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Na, not only will I film well, but I will also defeat the Stick Nation’s movies and occupy the Beautiful Country’s market. Then, what kind of crappy Oscar award, we’ll create our own award and surpass it. And those little Japs, don’t they like making anime? We’ll take them down too!” Pan Han patted his chest, making a guarantee.

“Hahaha! Good! Such a young person with such grand ambitions! Sister Na won’t let you down either. Within half a month, I’ll help you sort out Dawn Base.” Sister Na waved her hand, also giving Pan Han her assurance.

The two of them happily clinked glasses again.
